Message: [QUOTE="Cowtown, post: 2247170, member: 2350"] All you mention here deserves consideration. Here's another thought. Although for Judge it's a small sample size (July 9 to today), pitching coaches watch film, and after half a season there's enough available that they can see not so much what to throw to him, but what [I]not[/I] to throw to him. And he's not getting the kind of pitch he can drive because pitching staffs are thinking "don't let [I]him[/I] beat us." I think he comes out of this for the better, but I'm not expecting a second half like the first. Especially while they can pitch around him while everyone else in the lineup is happy to get themselves out swinging at the pitch they [I]want[/I] to see rather than the ones they [I]do[/I] see.
